Sure... Its on the passengers above the oil pan at the rear of the engine... it should be just below the aft exhaust manifold primary. It is held in with one screw/bolt. They can be a PITA to remove... make sure you have some heavy duty chanel locks and large flat head screw driver & patients... they snap in with their "O" RING.... so it will take some effort to remove it.

The crankshaft position sensor of Your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L is located below the front underside of Your vehicles engine. The crankshaft sensor should be situated inside the crankshaft itself, below the hood near the center. It is specifically located under the aft exhaust manifold where it is held with one screw or a bolt in some cases. You may need to replace it but it can be difficult to remove these screws. Make sure You have a flat head screwdriver on You. You need to replace Your crankshaft position sensor as soon as possible if Your engine starts stalling. This can be result of a wiring issue, but it generally indicates a bad crankshaft position sensor as well.

The crankshaft sensor is located inside the crank shaft itself, which can be found under the hood near the middle.
